Win Game 3 here and we will have a winning conference record as well as overall. As recently as 2 weeks ago I doubted that was possible anytime this season.

Amazing is an accurate adjective. 1B and 3B are positions where you normally want a strong bat, but there are zero good hitters on this team so you play your best fielders. Not sure how Robe is holding this thing together.

Re: GameOn: Lousiana at App St (Game 2)

We have just won 6 of 7. Any other players you would like to trash today before we get started with the double header?

At this time, that is 3 players in two posts. C'mon man!!!!!

Dude, I am certainly not trashing players. In those 7 previous games you mentioned, we were less than +1.3rpg with ZERO help from the bottom of the lineup. That is a razor thin margin. (and two extra innings games). Stover was 3 for 20 in that stretch with 2 rbi and McKinnon 2 for 24 with 0 rbi. First base is not typically a position to give up a stick for a glove. I was simply looking for options to shore up the bottom of the lineup. Lott/Loch getting ABs may help, or giving McKinnon a break to let his legs rest. I am happy the bottom 3 hit much better in the DH though, but I still think the bottom of the lineup can be improved.
